Indeed, analysts point to two factors that likely are credited for Trump’s meteoric rise. First, Republican primary voters are anxious for a non-politician who won’t hold back on rhetoric that “tells it like it is”.

It is a tact already employed successfully by Gov. Chris Christie with some success in New Hampshire, despite the ongoing fallout over his NJ scandals.

Second, Trump’s rhetoric is clearly motivated with a populist flavor that appeals to multiple voter groups within the Republican tent. His bold anti-immigrant language appeals to a broad swath of voters angry with both parties for refusing to solve the border crisis.

Telling it like it is — at least how it is according to Trump — could backfire, of course, when the vote is put to the American people at large.

Whether his rhetoric will serve on the debate stage as a vent for Republican frustration or as a challenge to other candidates on uncomfortable issues will be the subject of speculation ahead of the August 6th debut.

Donald J. Trump is not perfect, but genuine. And he has the guts to stand up to “PC”… and the ego, patriotism, and money to defeat the illuminati and save America. Because of his stance “on the issues”… and over the top loveable behavior and trustworthiness among the people… iv’e even been seeing many Liberal Democrats incredibly favorable towards Donald Trump. As in saying they would VOTE for him if given the choice right now. TRUMP 2016 !

It’s not the voters! It’s the politicians. Their not saying what we want to hear and then you get mad because we like the candidate that speaks to us? So you want to vote for the established brain washed political correct candidate?

I support him, but not for President! Note that he also said Snowden should be executed, Oprah would be a great VP choice, on the Garland, TX, shooting it was Pamela Geller’s fault, and Hillary Clinton is a terrific woman.
